mitmproxy VS up

This statement gives a false sense of security. You can use a transparent proxy, like mitmproxy, to view HTTPS traffic - https://mitmproxy.org/. https://reedmideke.github.io/networking/2021/01/04/mitmproxy-openwrt.html

You'll need to install mitmproxy and set it up on your computer and iOS. I won't go into too much detail here on how to do this, but there are plenty of guides available. This is a pretty good one: https://nadav.ca/2021/02/26/inspecting-an-iphone-s-https-traffic/

TIL this goes back to 2006, how cool! We nowadays have a much simpler version as a mitmproxy example: https://github.com/mitmproxy/mitmproxy/blob/main/examples/ad.... Although it obviously does not work as well anymore with everything being HTTPS nowadays (unless you trust the cert of course). :)

Perhaps you could have your device use a proxy that can do the HTTPS unwrap for you? https://mitmproxy.org/ maybe?

A great way to test the effectiveness of a pinning implementation is by simulating an MITM attack. Tools like Mitmproxy or Wireshack allow us to create a test environment to monitor, intercept, and proxy network requests for a test host.

This fx rewrite is very exciting. I'll have to try it. I thought of fx as a wrapper around jq, that allowed quick iteration over building jq scripts. Sort of an Ultimate Plumber [1] but only for jq. It looks like it is now more like a JavaScript processor plus an interactive viewer.

Someone mention Visidata[2]? VisiData is also a TUI that is great on tabular data, and it can work with json. If your JSON is mostly tabular in nature, Visidata does a great job at showing that data and allowing you to explore it. A lot of json I deal with is tabular-like data. There is a great tutorial [3], that can help you get your bearings with Visidata. Once you understand those basics you might want to look at this thread [4] for what commands you can use with json.

Ultimate plumber can do this.

Been using up for years but this looks nice too

Fun. But I can achieve the same result (I think) with ultimate plumber and regular jq, but without being restricted just to jq. Feel free to correct me.

Up - The Ultimate Plumber makes the best pipes !

As an alternative allowing the use of any shell command/pipeline on the results interactively, see also: https://github.com/akavel/up

Would https://github.com/akavel/up solve your problem?
